Delaware

My summer wardrobe is all about comfortable cottons in cute cuts.  This Delaware dress from Mata Traders hits all those requirements, but adds a little more incentive because their entire line is made by fair trade artisans in India and Nepal.  As an avid dress collector, I do my best to buy ethically.  For the most part I avoid fast fashion, but when a company like Mata Traders gives you an exact idea who made your dress and where, it makes it an easy task.

I love how light and airy this dress is.  The cotton is soft but stiff enough to maintain its shape.  The wide waistband creates a nice hourglass shape and the full skirt is complete with side pockets.  Of course, my favorite feature is the full back zipper.  It makes a world of difference when you can step into your dress and go!  Want to learn more about Mata Traders and their fair trade philosophy?  Read all about it HERE and check out the rest of their spring collection HERE.

I feel like it's been much too long since Kevin and I had a "date night".  While we've had more family time than normal thanks to recent holidays, we've had virtually no time alone!  I'd love to have just one meal where I wasn't cutting up a kid's meal or pulling my toddler from climbing the walls.  This weekend doesn't look promising, but I'm looking forward to a hopeful, maybe even romantic night out!
